Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows guidance for SAP disaster recovery, but there are signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Robocopy, Windows Server Failover Cluster) are mentioned explicitly, sometimes before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. The Linux sections are present and detailed, but some examples and tool recommendations (such as for file replication) are more explicit for Windows (e.g., Robocopy for SMB) than for Linux (where only 'custom (like rsync)' is mentioned). In backup support tables, Windows/SMB scenarios are called out with supported tools, while Linux/NFS scenarios are marked as 'Not Supported' with less guidance. There is also a tendency to mention Windows patterns (e.g., WSFC, cloud witness) in more detail or with more direct links than Linux clustering solutions.
Recommendations
  • Provide equally detailed, step-by-step examples for Linux as for Windows, especially for storage replication and cluster reconfiguration.
  • Explicitly mention and link to Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, lsyncd, DRBD) for file replication, similar to how Robocopy is highlighted for Windows.
  • Where Windows-specific tools or patterns are mentioned, ensure the Linux equivalents are introduced with equal prominence and detail.
  • In tables and process descriptions, avoid listing Windows/SMB solutions first by default; alternate or group by OS to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • For backup and restore, clarify Linux/NFS alternatives or workarounds if Azure Backup is not supported, and provide links to community or third-party solutions.
  • Where possible, provide parity in diagrams and architecture visuals for both Linux and Windows scenarios.
